How buying Starbuck’s coffees everyday skyrocketed my earnings

THREAD
I was an intern at XYZ bank

The interns on my desk got coffee every morning

So I went to be social, always bought a coffee
Got to know one of the interns who I ended up dating

If the story ended here the coffees would’ve been worth the price

But she happened to be well connected in the industry
After graduation I was tryna angle my way into IB

Previously my GF had me over for dinner with some of her father’s powerful friends

I end up with interviewing at a firm where I guy I met was a big wig
Went from solid candidate to a no brainer hire because he put a good word in

This new job offer allowed me to leverage with my old firm and get an even better offer
My earnings the next year doubled

And my future earning power had also been uncapped

This new job opened all sorts of doors and legitimized me professionally

Because I bought coffees

I think the $700 investment for that summer was worth it
